Hello,
My Red 1988 GTA is suffering with serious lacquer pealing. Having sourced all the necessary trim and decided to take the windows out I'm wanting it to be a proper job.
There are many slightly darker spots under the lacquer on certain panels and in certain areas. Is this moisture in the fiber glass, or moisture in the gel coat etc? A resraying firm have said not to worry about this and that simply sanding down to the gel coat will solve the problem. Others have said that the fiber glass needs to be baked after it has been taken down, otherwise the spots will return.
I am unsure what to do.
Can anyone advise, and can anyone explain what the different coloured base coats are ? Is the very thick pink layer the gel coat ? Is the gel coat porous ? It seems that as my friend (a professional sprayer, although with zero fiber glass experience) took down the blister spots along the windscreen when he reached the pink layer they vanished. This says to me that either the pink layer is porous or the moisture sat above it.
I simply don't know, and I'm humbly requesting if anyone can enlighten me as to the best way to proceed if I want a proper job done.
Many kind thanks in advance.
